". . . remarkable memoir. . . Nott relates his extensive knowledge of trauma surgery and medicine to the events he writes about in a fluid prose style that is readily understandable to readers outside the health-care profession. The result is a remarkably powerful personal and expert account of the drastic toll war exacts on human beings and a stirring bringing-to-light of the many ways people behind the scenes help mitigate the damage."
For more than twenty-five years, David Nott has taken unpaid leave from his job as a general and vascular
surgeon with the NHS to volunteer in some of the world's most dangerous war zones. From Sarajevo under siege
in 1993, to clandestine hospitals in rebel-held eastern Aleppo, he has carried out life-saving operations in the most
challenging conditions.
Driven both by the desire to help others and the thrill of extreme personal danger, he is widely acknowledged to
be the most experienced trauma surgeon in the world, experience he now passes on to other doctors, so that they too
can save lives threatened by bombs and bullets.
War Doctor is his extraordinary story.
